Your Experiences

I captained my school side in this competition in 1989 when I was at Bromsgrove school and made the England select XI
Aside from Barbados being a great place to visit I played against and alongside players who went on to play county and island cricket Floyd Reifer and Courtney Brown went on to place test matches. We also had the chance to meet Sir Gary himself along with other Windies legends like Joel Garner
Thoroughly recommend the tournament experience.
